Doll Body Measurements
Guest Author - Susan Kramer

Using my own dolls, I took the measurements for 6 types of doll bodies, given in both inches and centimeters. Keep in mind with soft doll parts the measurements may vary as the stuffing gets moved around over time and play. When making doll clothes be sure to make the clothing larger than the doll body measurements for ease of dressing and movement. Here are baby doll body measurements.
